MATERIALS NEEDED

See below a list of recommended materials you will need for the course

Pen Holder – straight or oblique is fine.  If you are a lefty you can use a straight pen holder. If you are a leftie and want to use an oblique, make sure to buy the proper one for you – the metallic flange should be on the right side of the pen stiff. You can provide a pen holder from any arts & crafts store, but you can also order them from our online shop.

Nib – pointed and flexible. For the beginning a Zebra G, Nikko G, Leonardt Crown or Leonardt DP40 will do a great job. I personally like best the DP40, but then you must test for yourself to see which one is right for you. You can provide a pen holder from any arts & crafts store, but you can also order them from our online shop.

Paper for printing the guide sheets – any smooth paper that takes ink well, without bleeding is fine. Usually 100g high quality printing paper should be fine, but then again, you will have to test. HP Premium32 lb  would be a good option or you could also use tracing paper or marker paper above your guide sheets printed on any regular paper. If proper paper is a challenge, you can provide our Calligraphy Practice Pads (both for lowercase and uppercase letters) with instructions and traceable letters, which are the same as the downloadable practice sheets in the course.

Ink – you can start with a simple black ink (Speedball Super Black India ink, Winsor & Newton, Sumi ink are just fine). I always love working with gouaches, as they have great coverage and the letters are colored and mat. They are thicker and they never bleed, no matter on what paper you write on. Our inks are available in our online shop and they are also included in our kits.

You can find all these in our Calligraphy Kits

Laptop/Computer & Internet Connection – this course is available only on the Internet, so using an Internet browser and having Internet connection is a must. Recording/downloading/sharing the videos is strictly prohibited.

Printer – all the downloadable materials like handouts, worksheets, guide sheets should be printed for you to work upon and practice.

YOUR INSTRUCTOR – MEET AMALIA

Hi! I am Amalia and ever since I picked up Copperplate calligraphy back in 2015 I couldn’t help falling in love more and more with this script – it’s so elegant, delicate and versatile! Not to say it’s more and more popular and suitable for so many projects: weddings, fine stationery, various creative activities and logos. Since 2017 I have been teaching this script to hundreds of students and I absolutely love doing this! :)  I have prepared this Learn Copperplate Course both for absolute beginners and calligraphers who want to improve their script. Since Copperplate is such a complex style, you need to take things step by step and learn all the basics, so you can master it. Since I am very much technical and have a special approach to details, I enjoy that Copperplate has clear rules and certain techniques to follow in order to help you achieve the very best of this script. After all the students I’ve met and after seeing their evolution, I can definitely say you don’t need any special talent or skill to learn Copperplate!  I am honored to guide you through this comprehensive course and… see you in class! :)

FAQ

  • I’m a beginner. Can I take this course

Absolutely! This course is suitable for absolute beginners, with no prior experience, as it walks you step by step through all you need to know. The course is also valuable for experienced students looking for improving their letters.  We have happily supported experienced modern calligraphers to learn Copperplate and add this style to their portfolio.

I have a terrible handwriting. Am I going to be able to do calligraphy?

Definitely! I had lots of students that called their handwriting as “horrible”, but did a great job in calligraphy and developed a stunning style. Using different tools to write, calligraphy seems much like drawing the letters. The rhythm of writing in calligraphy is slow, you will use special grids and a few rules and techniques will help you create and form harmonious letters and script. 

  • How long does this course lasts

This course opens few times per year and can be fulfilled at your pace, as your schedule allows. Once you purchased this online course, you have lifetime access to it, so it’s up to you to decide when to follow the classes, when to pause or go through the course again whenever you need. Nevertheless, if you desire to learn alongside other students, I will provide a recommended schedule for you to follow. Since the official opening of the course, I will be providing you 3 months of support. You can post your work in our private community and ask questions. Once a month we will host a live session to interact and clarify things out. 

  • Will there be support offered

Once the course is officially opened, you will have a 3 months’ time support from Amalia. Inside our private community you can post your work and questions. Every once a week Amalia will deal with your questions and provide answers and solutions. Once a month a live session will be on for the community to gather online and sort things out, raise questions and watch Amalia demonstrate as she answers your queries. It’ s a good opportunity for getting clarifications, tips and tricks for the things you struggle with or can’t manage to achieve yet.

  • Will individual feedback be included

To keep reasonable costs for this course, individual feedback is not included in the course. Nevertheless, for students striving for individual feedback, we can provide individual feedback to a limited number of attendees, as an extra service you can purchase alongside this course. 3 live sessions of one hour each are provided for an extra fee. After adding your course to chart you can choose this option.

 

 

  • I don’t need any support, nor follow along the course with other fellow students? Can I purchase this online course and have instant access to all the videos?

If that is what you are looking for and are anxious to get started totally on your own, we are ok with that! Therefore, you can benefit of a smaller rate for this course. This means you are not going to be included in any private community of any course sessions, nor will you have access to the weekly feedback we provide our students throughout the 3 months of learning time we spend together. You are completely on your own, you learn at your pace and have no feedback from us. Nevertheless, if you change your mind, you can always upgrade to the regular version, that include the weekly general feedback on the community group that is closer to your request date, or you can purchase the individual 3 sessions feedback pack, or both, depending on what you think is best for you.

 

 

  • Are supplies included in this online course

No, they are not, but we can definitely help you with that! We have prepared for you some awesome calligraphy kits for you to get started. Take a look here to pick your favorite. We ship worldwide, so in a few days up to 10 days (depending of your location) you can have them on your desk!

 

 

  • I am a leftie. Can I take the course?

Absolutely! No matter which hand is comfortable for you to write, the techniques and rules are the same. For very slanted scripts like Copperplate lefties usually are in advantage, as their natural position of the pen points to the angle needed. So, all in your favor! You can use a straight pen holder or on oblique with a flange on the right side. Some lefties also prefer working with obliques with the flange on the left side, just like for the right handed persons, but it’s up to you to decide which works best for you.

 

 

  • How long will it take to learn calligraphy

Well, it depends on the practice time you can afford. It can take from 10 days to 3 months, it may take less or more. But, if you implement a daily 10-20 minutes of exercise routine, you will see improvements in 1-2 months.
